Description
The use of solvents yields a deeper, richer rose aroma, making the absolute far better for perfumery, and perhaps for emotional uses. However, for skin care, for internal uses, and for physical effects the pure steam-distilled Bulgarian Rose Otto is the wiser choice. Both are well worth experiencing! One luxury-loving client recommends blending the two for the ultimate sensory experience.
Of all of our various Rose Absolutes, this Rosa damascena has the deepest notes, perhaps a blend of sunshine and shadow. I would call it a deep heart note, compared to the high heart notes of the sunnier centifolia extractions.
The absolute is a deep orange in color, and needs diluting to be truly appreciated and is available in a 5% Dilution.
SHELF LIFE: Approximately 3 to 4 years after you open the bottle. Storing in the dark, refrigerated, and decanting half full bottles into smaller, full bottles will extend shelf life.

One of my favorite oils- calms my heart immediately, is gentle enough to use directly on my skin, and smells wonderful.

I’ve been wearing Rose Essential Oil for decades, not for its scent but for its frequency, which is said to be the highest frequency of all flowers. Though I wonder if the Lotus flower was considered. However, this particular Rose IS one of the most beautiful scents of rose I’ve EVER smelled.
